I’ve tried everything I can think of, but can’t seem to shake this error when running MIX_ENV=prod mix release:

===> Provider successfully run: app_discover
===> Running provider resolve_release
===> Solving Release myapp-0.0.2
===> Provider (resolve_release) failed with: {error,
                                                 {rlx_prv_release,
                                                  {failed_solve,
                                                   {unreachable_package,
                                                    phoenix_live_reload}}}}

==> ERROR: "Unable to find application phoenix_live_reload. See the debug output for more information."

I have phoenix_live_reload in my mix.exs

def application do
  [mod: {Myapp, []},
    applications: [:phoenix,
    :phoenix_live_reload,
    ...
    :bamboo_smtp]]
end
...
defp deps do
  [{:phoenix, "~> 1.2.1"},
  ...
  {:phoenix_live_reload, "~> 1.0", only: :dev},
  ...
  {:bamboo_smtp, "~> 1.2.1"}]
end

Not sure what else. I started as usual running

MIX_ENV=prod mix phoenix.digest
MIX_ENV=prod mix compile
MIX_ENV=prod mix release

then tried mix release.clean, I tried mix deps.clean --all and mix do deps.get, compile, and I tried rm -rf _build and starting it all over. I built successfully before several times, not sure what could have changed between now and then. Is there some permission I can check somewhere that might be causing this? Thanks.

remove :phoenix_live_reload from applications:

def application do
  [mod: {Myapp, []},
    applications: [:phoenix,
    :phoenix_live_reload, <- REMOVE THIS
    ...
    :bamboo_smtp]]
end

Yep, you would have thought that the only: :dev imperative would have told me that… although in my defense I thought I tried that :stuck_out_tongue: It’s been a long day.
